The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, signed by President Obama on February 17, 2009, provides the EPA Office of Inspector General $20 million for oversight activities available through September 30, 2012. The Office of Inspector General will conduct audits, investigations, and other reviews to ensure economy and efficiency and to prevent and detect fraud, waste, and abuse in how EPA uses the $7.2 billion it has received under the Act. The Office of Inspector General has issued an initial plan for oversight of Recovery Act funds. Reports on our findings will be posted on this Website as published. The Office of Inspector General will also review, as appropriate, any concerns raised by the public about specific investments using funds made available in the Act. Individuals may report any suspicion of fraud, waste, or abuse of the EPA stimulus funds via the OIG Hotline. Any findings of such reviews not related to ongoing criminal proceedings will also be posted on this Website.
